IMPLEMENTATION
Growth requires a Strategic Implementation and Planning
Our Approach
Phase 1: Activity and Budget Profiles help turn the strategic plan for the identified business activities into an implementation and execution plan of action. Activity and Budget Profiles are developed for each business activity. SGI believes detailing metrics, such as summary descriptions, partners, evaluation, revenue generation, contractual services, equipment, supplies, and materials, are essential to developing an effective implementation plan with contingencies.
Phase 2: Annual Budget allows the business to understand financial expenditures and revenue generation streams, in-kind support, and other monetary metrics essential to operations and financial accounting. An Annual Budget is also critical to determining a business valuation, a critical component to financial and HR investment. Moreover, SGI believes an Annual Budget and justification are essential to the development of a donor and fundraising strategy.
Phase 3: Human Resources, Recruitment, and Retention Strategy help businesses delineate the human resource capital necessary to execute the objectives to reach the stated business goal. HR plays a key role in developing, reinforcing, and changing the culture of an organization such that organizational objectives are achievable. SGI believes in the recruitment and retention of team players that are humble, hungry, and smart, which ensures that the HR capital helps the business meet tangible outputs and business KPIs.
Phase 4: Marketing and Digital Communications Strategy helps businesses market their products, services, and innovative features to a global market of diverse consumers. This strategy ensures the business focuses on a specific audience and identifying that audience's needs and interests will help deliver a more effective plan in achieving marketing objectives. SGI believes digital communications provide a seamless experience to customers as well as stakeholders, bridging the gap between high-touch ventures and emerging high-tech requirements for business success.
Phase 5: Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy helps the business assess its growth trajectory by tracking failures and developing best management practices from lessons learned that when applied propel the business forward faster. Having a metric to judge the success of a business and the impact of the activities helps better design and implement programs, to allocate, or reallocate resources more efficiently. SGI believes an M&E strategy will ensure the effective, ethical, and equitable implementation of the strategic plan.
Phase 6: Donor & Fundraising Strategy helps the business understand the funding ecosystems, potential funders, their appetite and terms of funding, and the thematic areas that show alignment with the mission and vision of the business. Donors and funders make gifts and contributions because they expect outcomes tied to the mission and vision of their organization. SGI believes having a donor and fundraising strategy achieves higher rates of returns for investment as we are able to seek traditional forms of capital as well as mission-driven or green capital for your enterprise.
